FeedWordPress is an Atom/RSS aggregator for WordPress. It syndicates content from newsfeeds that you select into your WordPress blog; if you syndicate several newsfeeds then you can WordPressâ€™s posts database and templating engine as the back-end of an aggregation (â€planetâ€) website. I originally developed it because I needed a more flexible replacement for Planet to use at Feminist Blogs.

FeedWordPress is designed with flexibility, ease of use, and ease of configuration in mind. Youâ€™ll need a working installation of WordPress 1.5 and FTP or SFTP access to your web host. The ability to create cron jobs on your web host would be very helpful but itâ€™s not absolutely necessary. You donâ€™t need to tweak any plain-text configuration files and you donâ€™t need shell access to your web host to make it work. (Although, I should point out, web hosts that donâ€™t offer shell access are bad web hosts.)
